yeah i already asked sound control in leeds and they have just scalled their dj setup down, so no demo.

this is what i seem to have learnt so far.

tracktor scratch has replaced final scratch and final scratch 2. so ok, fs is out of the question, i want the newest shit here. basically it's two timecoded vinyls running tracktor 3. i can sync this up via midi clock to ableton on the same computer and i should be rockin. apparently there's a g4 powerbook issue but most ppl seem to report it's the shit.

ok so then there's rane sereto. similar thing and can rewire to ableton too. lovely.

but what are the REAL differences between these two here? is it just software? or are there usability issues too?

also learnt that torq can be rewired. BUt when you rewire with ableton, it disables your timecoded vinyl! now, i dunno is this is true but if so, that's out the question.

as for ms pinky, the software looks a bit shit imho. and of course, if the whole reason i'm doing this is to enhance performance, then whatever is on the screen does have to look good! heh plus i'd have to buy an external sound card, there's no breakout type box to plug in the dj mixer???????? and i'm definitely not taking my motu on the road!

also found out about this: http://www.flstudio.com/documents/deckadance.html
but from what i can gather it's a vsti and i don't see how you can use this to control the master tempo of ableton using timecoded vinyl.

phew. am i on the right track here do you think guys??
